    )

[updated_at:EntityUser:private] => DateTime Object
    (
        [date] => 2014-08-01 15:12:36

    )

[firm:protected] =>

You can try something like this,

    $result = $this->em->createQueryBuilder();
    $app_code = $result->select('p')
            ->from('YourUserBundle:User', 'p')
            ->where('p.id= :id')
            ->setParameter('id', 2)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult(DoctrineORMQuery::HYDRATE_ARRAY);

Another way,

 $this->em->getRepository('YourUserBundle:User')
      ->findBy(array('id'=>1));

Above will return an array but contains doctrine objects. Best way to return an array is using the doctrine query.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
